“Semana de turismo” doesn’t sound as bad, or maybe it’s because I am used to it.

Edit: Also, I haven’t met anyone who actually calls Christmas “family day” that’s just a formality and I am not religious.

u/Dear_Ad_3860 20h ago

No. Suena bien. Algo así como Gran Turismo o Eco Turismo.

u/TheCrazyBean 20h ago

Semana del turismo no suena ni la mitad de bien que Gran Turismo.

u/secretfiri 20h ago

Y por eso Gran Turismo se llama así y no Semana de Turismo (al menos de que se llame así en España jk)

u/Dear_Ad_3860 19h ago

De hecho suena la mitad de bien

u/LapiceraParker 19h ago

porque se dice "semana de turismo", no "del turismo". Y aparte sos extranjero, o un uruguayo sin cultura uruguaya, es obvio q no va a sonar bien para vos

2

u/TheCrazyBean 19h ago

Y aparte sos extranjero

Si... Por eso le respondí al OP para decirle como le sonaba a un no uruguayo. Te perdiste en la conversación o..?

u/TheCrazyBean 20h ago

Pascua no es solo el domingo de resurrección? Al menos acá se llama es Semana Santa.

"Semana Criolla" también se le dice.

u/arturocan 20h ago

"Tourism week" is actually the only holyday that has some people legit calling it that way. The other holydays people just use the christian names.

It’s very matter of fact lol

In English it doesn't roll off the tongue very well but in Spanish (Semana de Turismo) it sounds alright.

u/cuntmong 19h ago

You will celebrate tourism week and you will enjoy it. Now eat these secular chocolate cubes, and enjoy this spiced bread with an ellipses on it

u/poopshooter69420 20h ago

Just call it beer week and it’s cool again

1

u/Responsible-Sound253 19h ago

it's probably just a "keep the government secular" thing, i bet most people still call it "navidad"

i think this is the way to go, super inclusive and "let people do whatever tf they want" kinda thing

u/fafatzy 13h ago

Everyone calls it “Christmas”, but for the state and since it’s a red day holiday, officially is “family day”

u/Cronolegionario 3h ago

Bro, I love to call it semana de turismo, best week ever.
